Elevate | iOS Engineer | REMOTE or Bay Area, part time or full time<p>Apple&#x27;s App of the Year in 2014. 
<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;elevateapp.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;elevateapp.com</a><p>I work full-time on Elevate&#x27;s iOS app. We make brain training games, so most of the company works on cross-platform games. I&#x27;m the one responsible for everything on iOS that isn&#x27;t a game.<p>We ship improvements to the app and a new game every month. You would take your own tasks and help with code review for each release.<p>Objective C and some C++ experience is necessary, we also use Swift in some isolated places, and would like to use Swift wherever feasible.<p>The app is very animation heavy. CoreAnimation experience is useful. Understanding what causes performance issues and how to use Xcode&#x27;s profiling tools is useful too. We have really talented designers who cry when you build ugly things.<p>It&#x27;s a pretty chill gig. We probably need at least half of your time around a deadline, but usually you can spend as much time as you want working on stuff. The well of tasks never runs dry. We have an office, but Slack+Trello means you can work from anywhere.<p>Send at least your Github username to me: david+hn@elevateapp.com<p>Links to anything you&#x27;ve done that is on the App Store is way more interesting to me than a resume.

text: Experienced Ruby on Rails Developer - Manchester, UK - Either remote or on-site fine<p>We&#x27;re an online music retailer selling vinyl, tapes, CDs, downloads and merchandise. We&#x27;re currently rebuilding our site to use Spree (so Spree experience preferred although not required) and we need an extra developer as soon as possible. You will need to be experienced building systems with complex business logic (there&#x27;s a surprising amount) and working with integrating third party protocols, APIs and file formats[1].<p>We test heavily using Rspec and Cucumber. We&#x27;re using the AWS stack (EB, S3, etc) and whilst knowledge of these would be beneficial it&#x27;s by no means a requirement. Postgres and CoffeeScript experience would be nice too. Lots of Rails experience is the main thing.<p>If you&#x27;re interested, please email bang@boomkat.com for more information or to apply. If applying, please include your CV &#x2F; Github &#x2F; links to any projects you&#x27;re proud of &#x2F; etc, as well as your availability and your day rate.<p>[1] Example of this is DDEX: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Digital_Data_Exchange" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Digital_Data_Exchange</a>

text: PHP developer (WordPress) | REMOTE | EU or East Asian timezone<p>I&#x27;m currently building some products in the WordPress space, and would like to hire someone to help me out so I can focus more on the non-programming parts of launching a product. I would prefer someone who is familiar with WordPress, but if you are a good PHP developer and willing to learn please get in touch - this will mainly be a backend role, so design experience isn&#x27;t necessary. Initially this will be part time (I&#x27;m thinking 10 hours per week), but if we work well together I&#x27;d like to increase your hours.<p>Email me your CV, samples of your past work (e.g. GitHub), rates and availability: luca@blissfulsystems.com
